[Resolved] Php Email

[azamatali]

Hello People I have written a code to send email using........php.

At first it seems like it is pretty simple to send email just using the mail () function. But i am still unable to send the mail .

The code is as follows:

<?
function send_mail($myname, $myemail, $contactname, $contactemail, $subject, $message) {
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n";
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: php\n";
$headers .= "From: \"".$myname."\" <".$myemail.">\n";
return(mail("\"".$contactname."\" <".$contactemail.">", $subject, $message, $headers));
}

if (send_mail("Company", "[e-mail]", "Customer", "[e-mail]", "This is a test", "This is a test\nOne two three four\nBlah blah blah\nThis is a test!")) {
print "SENT!";
} else {
print "FAILED!";
}

?>

It prints the message sent but i could not see the mail landin in my mail box. I have used yahoo, hotmail and gmail account to send the mail , but of no use

the php settings of my webhost are as follows:

sendmail_from [e-mail] [e-mail]
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

SMTP localhost localhost
smtp_port 25 25

Please help me by pointing out where i am wrong.

Thanks in advance.. everybody

Hello,
Have tried a simple small script for mail . But that too does'nt works.......

I guess somethin is very wrong with my fundamentals.

They say that mail in php is just a one line function, but it seems too difficult to me

Help (SOS)...

[azamatali]

<?
$to="[e-mail]";
$subject="This is the subject line";
$body="This is the body of the mail ";

mail($to, $subject, $body);

?>

Even this simple script does'nt work

Help needed badly..........

the php settings of my webhost are as follows:

sendmail_from [e-mail] [e-mail]
sendmail_path /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i

SMTP localhost localhost
smtp_port 25 25

check your SMTP settings.. where is your mail server located? and what is the OS you are using?

Hello murali,
I am not trying to run this program on my local system.

I have done the ftp of the file on my webhost.

And the settings that i have given are of the webhost.

Do i have to do anything with the php.ini of the webhost...........i guess the SMTP settings should be there already.

Whaat da ya say.

Seems like there are not many ppl around here to solve my problem.

I found it out myself...........the problem was in this line:

$headers .= "From: \"".$myname."\" <".$myemail.">\n";

I was taking the name and the email of the user who is filing the form and then tryin to send the email .. with the From: header pointing to the email & name of the sender..

But when i talked to my webhost... they told me that i have to use any existing email of my domain.. .. in the From header.. . To make it work..........

So i did the same.. in the from header i choose the email that i got with the domain name.. and voila everythin is working..........

Seems like i am the solving my own problems..........Gud for me........

Thanks neways...
